I'm not sure I follow.

$ kvm -version

Yes, qemu tries to open /etc/kvm/qemu.conf and /etc/kvm/target-x86_64.conf
but these files are not mandatory - built-in configuration (as used
without these files) is exactly the same as if there were the default
files installed.

The bug looks like an operator error - quit typical trap I'd say,
using a shell metacharacter (?) in a directory where there's a file
matching it.  Do you not agree?
